#OBEYGRAVITY
THE ALL-NEW GOODYEAR NEWTON MTF AND NEWTON MTR TIRES HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED TO PROVIDE CONFIDENCE INSPIRING PERFORMANCE ACROSS A WIDE RANGE OF CONDITIONS FOR MODERN GRAVITY MOUNTAIN BIKES. AVAILABLE IN TRAIL, ENDURO AND DOWNHILL CONSTRUCTIONS, THE MX INSPIRED DESIGN IS OPTIMISED FOR A BALANCE OF STRAIGHT-LINE CONTROL, CORNERING CONFIDENCE AND EFFECTIVE BRAKING.
what happens when you ask olly wilkins to help develop a new mountain bike tire?.....
Featuring Olly Wilkins and the Wingfoot Alliance, Goodyear Bike presents a story based (kind of) on true events….

MTR
Drive focused tread delivers speed and durability with tracking performance that inspires confidence transitioning from straight-line to cornering across a wide range of conditions.
- SQUARED REAR CASING PROFILE
- DRIVE FOCUSED TREAD LAYOUT
- INCREASED LATERAL FOOTPRINT
- LARGER TREAD BLOCK ENGAGEMENT
- IMPROVED DRIVE AND BRAKING TRACTION
- GREATER CORNERING CONFIDENCE
INTENDED USAGE DERIVED CONSTRUCTION
The Trail, Enduro, and Downhill specifications each utilize a unique blend of casing materials and construction paired with specific tread compound layup to maximize the tire’s performance for the intended use.
Going Downhill, Fast...
From aggressive trail riding to the demands of downhill racing, the Newton MTF delivers consistent cornering bite, predictable braking control and premium performance in ever-changing conditions. The tread design features ramped center knobs to reduce rolling resistance, while tall, arch-supported side knobs provide fierce braking and cornering grip.
Testing Testing 1-2-3
The next generation range of Goodyear Newton tires; 15 variations across two tread patterns which cater to riders’ needs based on diameter, width and intended use.
Two-and-a-half years in development, hundreds of samples, dozens of compound updates, casing layups, scrapped molds and adjustments.
The next generation Newton tires incorporate leading-edge technology in tread compound development, casing lay-ups, as well as proprietary construction methods, all of which are produced at the recently expanded dedicated Goodyear Bicycle Tire factory in Taiwan.
